here is my finished R-M '59 Vette. Turned out fairly well. I removed some of the chrome for a cleaner look.

the progress thread can be seen here

Smooth!! I like the wheel/tire combo and the engine detail. How did it look without the flame decal?
Makes me want to pick this kit up!

Nice!!! But I would consider that "excellent", and not "fairly well"!

Very nice finish! What did you use?
I wish they would make those wheels available seperately. They are probably about the best I`ve seen RMX produce, and I have more than a few projects they would look great on.

Thanks guy's!

The finish is Tamiya ts 14 black,several coats.and polished and waxed. I said fairly well because I was unhappy with the thick windshield glass,and the chrome plating was scratched in spots. It was difficult to get the body seated on the chassis properly,and it still not 100% correct. Other than those problems, I would recommend the kit.

My friends wheels from this kit have gone from his Corvette to my Superbird, to test fitters for about 2 other models and now the chrome is starting to come off so I am putting them on my 1968 Firebird, crazy!

Anyway, very sweet Vette man, classic colours with a classic body really do make them look like classics.

Awesome!!

Wheelin75r · #10 10-10-2004, 06:23 AM

and I mean that in a positive way!

Looks very good! I see you had the same problem with the hood/ bonnet as I did. I doesn't want to sit properly as shown in the first pic. That's the only problem I had with this kit.

Yeah that looks awesome!!! Great work! Black is always a plus!!!!!!!!

Looks sweet.
What did you use for the fuel line at least I think it's the fuel line or brake line (the metal line shown in the engine detail that goes under the air filter)? I need to make 8 for my 55' 300SLR and am trying some .15 metal rod but it is difficult to bend smoothly.

Really clean build! I love red interiors!
